The pristine world of nature in the shoes of Flower Mountain
Japanese aesthetics meets outdoor
October 24th, 2022
Flower Mountain's imagery is deeply connected to nature and rooted in the aesthetics of nature. Pristine scenery that, on the very occasion of a trip between Mr. Keisuke Ota and Mr. Yang Chao to Mount Fuji in Japan, sealed the union of the brand's two founders. Thus was born the Flower Mountain, a shoe with a functional and eye-catching design that wrote the brand's first chapter.
Underlying Flower Mountain's philosophy is the pursuit of a comfortable and relaxing lifestyle, which draws inspiration from the Japanese kire aesthetic, that is, the ability to enjoy the pleasures of quiet in total harmony with nature. The soul of Flower Mountain draws from the world of sportswear to transport it into a refined dimension: the wearer of Flower Mountain, likes to develop his own style by mixing sophisticated materials with an urban mood to achieve contemporary looks to express its personality. Original prints, urban attitude and experimental design inspired by the pristine world of nature characterize the essence of each of the brand's sneakers. All Flower Mountain shoes are leather-lined inside with an additional insole made of natural cork. The use of Agion, a natural mineral compound that prevents mold growth and keeps bacteria at bay, also provides additional comfort.
The upcoming collection features a reinterpretation of iconic models, that over time has created an instantly recognizable visual design. Together, the two brands have developed a common philosophy and aesthetic based on the uniqueness of handwriting. The updated FW22 collection also includes the innovative Back Country, a mid-rise model whose ability to adapt to any weather revives Flower Mountain's outdoor attitude. Among the iconic models we find the Yamano 3, designed to express the brand's uniqueness, love of nature and quality craftsmanship. The model features Flower Mountain's signature earthy colors and a variant with brighter pastel hues, aligning with seasonal trends. The item remains incredibly lightweight, and the sole is designed to fit well with any outdoor activity. Finally, the Kotetsu 3s make up Flower Mountain's most beloved line and are characterized by their mix of designs, colors, and materials that always create original and original combinations
